What is osteomyelitis of the jaw
Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone, bone marrow, covering the surrounding soft tissues. It can be acute and chronic. In the acute stage, the condition is accompanied by symptoms of intoxication. In the area of the damaged tooth, when pressed, there is increased soreness. Pronounced swelling is characteristic. The face becomes asymmetrical. The chronic course is characterized by a change in acute phases and remission.
The disease is common among people of all ages. According to the etiology, osteomyelitis are:
- odontogenic - they are identified most often in about 75% of cases, provoked by dental infections;
- traumatic - more often inflammation begins due to late seeking help for fractures of the jaw;
- hematogenous - provoked by the transfer of infection from other organs (scarlet fever, chronic throat diseases, etc.) by the blood stream.
The disease can also develop against the background of chronic diseases accompanied by a significant decrease in immunity (HIV, hepatitis B, C) and inflammatory infections (phlegmon, abscesses).
Treatment of osteomyelitis of the jaw is carried out in maxillofacial surgery. The therapy is quite complex, step-by-step. The cost of improper treatment can be the patient's life, because inflammatory processes over time affect an increasing number of tissues and organs. In Israeli clinics, the level of treatment for such problems is the highest. Medical rooms are equipped with everything necessary for a thorough examination and identification of the extent of the lesion. And, of course, do not forget about the level of professionalism of maxillofacial surgeons who are able to perform operations with minimal damage to the skin on the face. The cost of services directly depends on the complexity of the case, the list of drugs.
Treatment of osteomyelitis in Israeli clinics
The therapy will differ depending on what stage the osteomyelitis is in. The price also depends on this. In the acute and subacute stages, the tooth is removed, under which the focus is located. The latter is thoroughly washed and disinfected. Also shown is vitamin therapy, antibacterial agents.
Services for the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis in Israel involve the removal of a part of the bone tissue affected by necrosis. This is followed by restorative therapy.
The prognosis of the disease upon treatment at the initial stage is quite favorable. It is difficult to draw conclusions about an advanced disease. To prevent the disease, one should not neglect the rules of hygiene, precautions when playing sports and in general, because injuries can cause the development of osteomyelitis. Also, you should visit the dental office at least once a year, ideally for six months. This allows you to identify the disease, even when it has not yet made itself felt.
